Experience the ancient wellness tradition of Holy Basil (Tulsi) with this sacred herb grown from seed. Also known as Kapoor Tulsi or Ocimum tenuiflorum, this aromatic basil has been cherished in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries as the “Queen of the Herbs.” Known for its adaptogenic properties, Tulsi is believed to help the body manage stress, support immune balance, and promote overall vitality.
Native to the tropics of Southeast Asia, Holy Basil thrives in warm conditions and produces soft, fragrant leaves with a light anise-clove aroma. These leaves can be steeped into a soothing herbal tea celebrated for its calming and uplifting qualities. Beyond its culinary and wellness uses, Tulsi adds spiritual and sensory beauty to your garden, attracting pollinators and releasing a sweet, refreshing fragrance.
Sacred, Soothing, and Strengthening:
- Revered Ayurvedic herb known for adaptogenic benefits.
- Delightfully aromatic leaves for herbal teas and tonics.
- Attracts bees and butterflies to the garden.
- Symbol of purity and protection in traditional Hindu homes.
Why Customers Love Holy Basil (Tulsi):
- Grows easily in warm climates or sunny containers.
- Dual purpose: spiritual significance and wellness value.
- Adds a relaxing fragrance to patios and meditation spaces.
- Harvests continuously through the warm season.
How to Grow:
- Start seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly after soil warms.
- Plant seeds ¼ inch deep in well-draining soil and keep consistently moist.
- Provide full sunlight (6+ hours daily) and warm temperatures.
- Pinch back early growth to encourage a bushy, compact form.
Harvest & Use:
Pick leaves regularly once plants are established. Use fresh or dried for herbal tea, tinctures, or natural remedies. To make Tulsi tea, steep a handful of leaves in hot water for 5–10 minutes for a fragrant, stress-soothing infusion.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are heirloom seeds?
What are heirloom seeds?
Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.
You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.
How do I know my seeds are fresh?
How do I know my seeds are fresh?
Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.
Are your seeds treated?
Are your seeds treated?
No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
In what zones can I grow your seeds?
The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?
The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
